Description
Photograph of a view of Santa Monica looking east from the Academy of Holy Names, ca.1900. A roof's corner is visible in the lower left, beyond which an unpaved road and a sidewalk can be seen. To the right, farther in a two-story craftsman-style home can be seen, along with a farmhouse even farther back at center. More houses can be seen along the horizon behind the trees that fill much of the rest of the frame. "The Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary had arrived in Santa Monica in July 1899. They opened the Academy of the Holy Names on September 4 of that year in a small frame building on Fourth Street and Arizona. An intense fund-raising drive was launched immediately and a more substantial Academy building was erected in 1900 at Third and Arizona. The dedication of the school on February 22, 1901 was celebrated with a grand parade, fiesta and banquet. Juan Carrillo was parade marshal. Special trains brought guests from Los Angeles." -- unkown author.
